How are the career development opportunities at StudyPoint?

Flexibility in tutoring students and nice to work under contract

Pay is low and there is low recognition for your efforts

Very flexible hours Great program managers Compensated for trainings Curriculum given for test prep Online format allows for more flexibility with hours because of the time zone

-Not much room for advancement (though fairly easy to add programs) - it can take a little bit to get new clients -great for extra income but difficult to have predictable hours

The interviewing and onboarding processes are fairly streamlined and provide a good sense of what the job will be like going in. All the materials you need to hit the ground running are provided. There's a good deal of flexibility with regards to making your own schedule, so long as it remains consistent week to week once you've set it (6+ hrs./wk. minimum). The company procures clients on your behalf which is realistically the main benefit.

Given the minimum requirements for the job (bachelor's degree and 2+ years of teaching/tutoring experience), the compensation offered even after strong negotiation was quite poor. This is especially true in light of the non-compensated prep work the company requires (along with calls to parents etc.). I made more per hour as a freshman in college tutoring for the first time. While there is room for progression, it is quite slow. If compensation is your primary concern, working with a smaller company or attempting to source your own clients would probably be a better option.
